I replaced the Shift Carrier (part#:1J0711256) but that ended up not being the problem. It turns out the cable needed to be adjusted. There is still a problem though; I am having a hard time adjusting it. If I adjust to far one way I cant shift into first, if I ajust to far the other way I cant shift into fifth. I cant seem to get it into a position were I can shift into both easily. Ive been told that the bushing might need to be replaced but I can not find replacement bushing for the 1998 model. Does anyone know of a solution for this?
